Creating the physical volumes

A physical volume must be created for each new SCSI disk device.

To create the physical volumes:

1. Use the pvcreate command to create the physical volumes with the

character-type device file as the argument. Specify the /dev/rdsk

directory.

Example

# pvcreate /dev/rdsk/c6t0d0

Physical volume "/dev/rdsk/c6t0d0" has been

successfully created.

# pvcreate /dev/rdsk/c6t0d1

Physical volume "/dev/rdsk/c6t0d1" has been

successfully created.

Do not use the –f option with the pvcreate command. This option

creates a new physical volume forcibly and overwrites the existing

volume. If you accidentally enter the character-type device file for an

existing volume, you will lose the data on that volume.

2. Repeat step 1 for each OPEN-x device on the disk array.
